The aim of this study was to determine the effect of caregivers' educational program, reducing their care burden and perceived social support of the older adults in Jahrom, Iran. This is a quasi-experimental study utilizing an educational intervention implemented in 2018. The pivotal intervention was the education program for older adult’s caregivers in the field of caregiver training. The training methods included face-to-face training, pamphlet distribution and use media. Training lasted three weeks. The sample (152 caregivers and 152 older adults) were selected by snowball sampling and randomly divided into the intervention and control groups. Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaire, care burden, perceived social support scale and activities of daily living scale. Data were analyzed using Stata14 software and multiple linear regression considering perceived social support as a dependent variable based on the SEM model of path analysis. Before the educational intervention, no significant difference was observed between care burden and perceived social support in the experimental and control group (p &gt; 0.05). However, after the intervention, the care burden score ranged from 73.72 ± 26.94 to 39.07 ± 23.049 decreased (p = 0.001) and the perceived social support score of the older adults increased from 44.45 ± 7.81 to 54.97 ± 4.09 (p = 0.001). The result show that subscales of care load include evolutionary with a coefficient of 0.87 (p = 0.015), physical 0.86(p &lt; 0.001), social 0.84 (p &lt; 0.001), emotional 0.87 (p &lt; 0.001), time-dependent 0.19 (p = 0.035) and overall care burdens with a coefficient of 0.91(p &lt; 0.001) had an effect on perceived social support. Measures of model fit (χ2 = 17.20, RMSEA = 0.087, GFI = 0.81, AGFI = 0.86), indicated that the model had an acceptable goodness of fit.Educational intervention for caregivers reduces care burden and increases the perceived social support of the older adults. Therefore, caregivers can care for the older adults with a better feeling and as a result the older adults feel more valuable and have a higher self-esteem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51665,"journal":{"name":"Ageing International","volume":"48 3","pages":"765 - 779"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49635709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Late-life repartnering is a phenomenon developing with the increase in life expectancy, entered to enjoy life. It is not officially recognized as an option in Israel, culturally located between tradition and modernity. Within this social context, the aim is to explore the experience of happiness in late life repartnering relationships from a dyadic partner perspective and understand its meaning within the cultural society it is developing in. Data was drawn from a larger phenomenology study conducted on the meaning of late life repartnering from a dyadic view. 38 semi-structured qualitative interviews (19 couples) were conducted with functionally independent repartners, aged 66-92 who entered their relationship after a lifelong marriage. Happiness was an issue addressed by participants. It was not part of the interview guide thus results represent secondary analysis of interviews with participants who addressed happiness. Results illustrate a range of happiness experiences from a dyadic view related to expectations experienced on a continuum between surprised being happy and disappointed not being happy including six subthemes. Results are discussed relating to expectations and disappointment theory, and to how happiness is valued linked to culture. Implicit ageism is suggested for understanding why happiness is experienced as unexpected in late life repartnering, although entered to enjoy life. Implications are addressed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51665,"journal":{"name":"Ageing International","volume":"48 3","pages":"748 - 764"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42659949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
